Custom Uniforms, Equipment and Vehicles of the Wake 325th

In a perfect world, my army would look an awful lot like the 90's guardsmen. Rolled up sleeves, slightly less covering helmets, cigars for sergeants, and caps all around. But I would add leg Gators (the weird shin wrap things that Marines would wear in WWII, so prevent bugs from crawlin up and water from gettin in your boots), I'd also like to throw in campaign covers for a few of my sergeants, campaign covers, also known as smokeys, are what smokey the bear wears, but Marines did it first, in world war one. Next uniform change I'd make, less armor. See, the cadian stuff is cool and all, but the shoulder pads are unnecessary, they don't exactly stop much, and they restrict movement, a lot. I wouldn't mind forearm armor though, that'd be kinda cool for like sergeants and stuff. Why the smaller helmets? well, you can't really get a unique face on the current ones, or add facial hair. and again, it's not like their stopping alot of harm from befalling guardsmen. Also, flak jackets, I like what the catachans have going there, but I want them a little more bulky, and a little more, I dunno, protective looking, not just a vest, but a flack jacket.

Rifles would be longer than most other regiments, and black synthetic material, favoring bayonets and underslung grenade launchers. The occasional rifle scope, nothing major though. The rifle would also taper as it got closer towards the barrel. Pistols would all be bolt pistols, no laspistols, and only a select few plasma pistols. Our heavy bolters would all be handheld, like the spacemarines, none of that tripod stuff, bipods at best. Our rocket launchers would be smaller than most, and the ammo would be similar to the space marines again. Grenade launchers would be like the Vietnam era thumper, but synthetic materials.

Lastly our vehicles would consist of Gorgons, painted a dark green, would be the favored transport, though Chimeras are also somewhat prevalent, though rarely seen after initial landings. Tanks would be more akin to the malcador than the russ, but still slightly different than the malcador, in that it's also built for swamps, and would have to be amphibious. Instead of the standard Valkyrie, Wake uses the phased out Star Knight transport, it's only got one ramp, and thats in the back, and it's armament only consists of two heavy bolter sponsons, and multilaser front cannon. Wake does make decent use of sentinels, but they prefer the heavier armored sentinels over the scouts, despite the dense terrain, as the pilots prefer the fear factor of the armored sentinel against lighter units, as well as its better effectiveness.

Well, there's what I would have if I could have an all custom army, someday I might actually make a few of these, but there's the dream anyway.
